How to digitally sign a document using OpenSign™ for free?

OpenSign lets you digitally sign documents that don't need to be sent to anybody with ease. This feature is available in all the plans including OpenSign free. After login, you will be directed to the OpenSign dashboard. From the left-side menu, click on "Sign yourself" or by clicking the button on the Dashboard.

The maximum document size allowed is 20MB.
